Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!
The two C9 players had just eliminated Gate and the lone wolf from TS at the Three Warehouses when the victory screen flashed in their faces. They were dumbfounded!
What happened?
How did we suddenly win?
What about SKK? What happened to the climactic showdown?
This did not feel like the script of a typical tournament!
The international tournament had formidable foes like SKK, TSM, Liquid and Faze. These teams were the top picks to be the champions in this PUBG tournament. In comparison, C9 felt like a group of little boys.
They had a clear advantage: North America's Number One Rifler, the "Demon King" of the FPS world, Shroud!
On the other hand, they had an equally clear disadvantage: One strong player had to carry three stragglers. With an uneven distribution of skill levels among team members, it was easy to create a "short board effect".
